Question

My child only eats ham and potatoes. They have taken three zinc gluconate oral solutions but the effect is not obvious. How can I get them to accept vegetables and meat?

Answer

Conduct a nutritional assessment, check for trace elements, improve the eating environment, and provide behavioral guidance for eating. Emphasize early prevention; diversify food options; do not add new foods too slowly or over a prolonged single period. Diversify food purchasing and preparation. Create a good eating environment; parents and family members should set a good example; avoid forcing children to eat or scolding them.
